In the 1964-1965 school year, the schools were totally segregated. As in Green v. County School Board, ante, p. 391 U. S. 430 , the School Board in 1965 adopted a "freedom of choice" plan in order to remain eligible for federal financial aid. The plan applies to all school grades, and pupils are required to choose annually between the schools; those not choosing are assigned to the school previously attended. No white student has...

New York No. 611 Decided May 27, 1968 391 U.S. 462 APPEAL FROM THE APPELLATE TERM OF THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW YORK, FIRST JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT Syllabus Former 484-i of the New York Penal Law, which prohibited the sale of "magazines . . . which would appeal to the lust of persons under the age of eighteen years or to their curiosity as to sex or to the anatomical differences between the sexes," is unconstitutionally vague, and it is no answer to say that it was adopted for the salutary purpose of protecting children. Reversed. PER CURIAM. Appellant, in seeking reversal of his conviction for selling "girlie" magazines to a minor under 18 years of age in violation of former 484-i, New York Penal Law, * argues, among other grounds, that the statute is impermissibly vague. We agree. While we rejected a like claim as to 484-h in Ginsberg v. New York, 390 U. S. 629...

About one-half of the county's population are Negroes, who reside throughout the county since there is no residential segregation. Although this Court held in Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U. S. 483 ( Brown I ), that Virginia's constitutional and statutory provisions requiring racial segregation in schools were unconstitutional, the Board continued segregated operation of the schools, presumably pursuant to Virginia statutes enacted to resist that decision.

The Termination Act, which did not become fully effective until 1961, provided for the termination of federal supervision over the property and members of the tribe, whereupon state laws were to become applicable to them in the same manner as they applied to others. The same Congress that passed that Act also enacted Public Law 280, which, two months after the Terminatio...
